4. In the Agent Performance section, locate the relevant Agent.
5. Click the first icon next to the Agent’s name. (2)
6. Select the Assist option. (3)

   If the 'Assist' option is greyed out, ensure the agent is handling a routed call and that the supervisors web client is in the ‘Available’ status.

Click the Close button to exit the Assist session. The conversation between the Agent and the customer will continue uninterrupted.
